Cheese in a Day

‘Sara is a fantastic tutor; engaging and informative in perfect measure. These courses are excellent value for money; to learn in a home environment that you can easily replicate, with like minded enthusiasts.’Karen, 29 January 2015

Bring your pinny and roll up your sleeves, this special course has been designed to help develop your artisan culinary skills as we separate the curds and whey, creating three different cheeses in our London kitchen…

Sara Ward will welcome you to Hen Corner with fresh coffee and homemade biscuits. After an introduction to our time together we will start making our first cheese following the whole process from beginning to end. Throughout the day, you will have opportunity to stroll around the garden visiting the chickens and bees, and discover how we are choosing to live a more sustainable life.

Whilst the cheeses are straining and settling in moulds, we will enjoy a simple lunch to fuel us for the tasks of the afternoon.

Organic Recipes for the day may include:

Hand Stretched Mozzarella

Tangy Feta Cheese

Mould Ripened Camembert

Rosemary Water Biscuits (perfect with cheese!)

Honey & Whey Bread

Everyone goes home with a goodie bag including recipe sheets and your homemade cheese, bread and biscuits.
